The two companies, which both have offices in Glasgow and Edinburgh, have been
appointed to seven lots on the framework which provides all Scottish local
authorities and eligible public sector bodies access to engineering and
technical consultancy support.

The partnership will offer them direct access through the framework to a broad
range of SYSTRA and Civic’s specialist expertise across masterplanning,
transport, infrastructure, structures, environment, geoconsultancy, drainage and
flooding, and project management and delivery.

Malcolm Neil, Business Director at SYSTRA, said: “Our work alongside Civic
reinforces our commitment to helping councils respond to local priorities with
solutions that are practical, sustainable and shaped around the needs of
communities.

“Through this framework, SYSTRA and Civic are well placed to help local
authorities and public sector bodies plan, design and deliver projects that meet
immediate service needs while also supporting longer-term place and
infrastructure strategies.”

Combined, SYSTRA and Civic’s partnership brings together their teams’ expertise
in transport and infrastructure, built environment engineering, environment and
sustainability and place-led delivery.

Isla Jackson, director and head of Civic’s Scotland studio, said: “We know that
councils are balancing a wide range of pressures and ambitions, from improving
connectivity, biodiversity and resilience, to supporting regeneration,
decarbonisation, accessibility and inclusive economic growth.

“This partnership creates a strong offer for councils looking for trusted
partners who can provide both strategic advice and practical delivery support,
while creating positive impact for people, place and the planet.”

[Civic](https://www.team-civic.com/), the team of system thinkers in the built
environment, is involved in major schemes across Scotland that champion
sustainable, inclusive design, including: Glasgow Avenues; Mantle Yard in Leith;
Custom House Quay and Edinburgh Innovation Hub.
